Speaking during the installation and induction of Reverend Aggrey Katushabe as the new Parish Priest of Kicucwe Church of Uganda Parish in Rukiga District on Sunday, Katabaazi cautioned against being swayed by superficial incentives such as alcohol, salt, and matchboxes, instead urging voters to support leaders who are committed to meaningful community development.
Kiconco stressed the need to elect leaders who prioritize essential infrastructure projects, such as the construction of schools and churches.
He noted that such initiatives provide valuable opportunities for local residents, help families save money that would otherwise be spent on construction, and ultimately enhance access to quality education for children.
Demonstrating his commitment to the church and the community, Kiconco donated 100 bags of cement to support the roofing of the new priest’s house.

He encouraged the congregation to foster love, unity, and harmony, steering clear of conflicts that breed division and hatred.
He also called on the newly installed Parish Priest to focus on uniting the congregation and advocating against poverty, emphasizing the importance of strong leadership in community development.
Venerable Masheija commended Kiconco for his generosity and dedication to the church and the broader community, acknowledging his efforts to uplift the lives of local residents.
